Abandoned Engineering (2017)

Episode Overview

The Georg Thiele, an engineering marvel, met its fate beneath the waves of a Norwegian fjord after becoming stranded during a WWII naval confrontation. In this episode, viewers will also explore a massive concrete relic from the Communist era perched on a mountain in Bulgaria, a whimsical structure located in the heart of an American river, and the Miles Glacier Bridge in Alaska—one of the earliest and most impressive feats of Arctic engineering, once famously dubbed the Million Dollar Bridge when it was constructed in the early 1900s.
